Whether you are new to FromSoftware's games or not, Elden Ring's open world is both an exciting and daunting prospect.When you first emerge in the starting area of Limgrave - after you have selected your starting class and starting Keepsake item - the entire region is open for you to explore, from discovering caves hiding short but challenging dungeons, to dragons, trolls and other powerful creatures which roam the lands.Though there is a destination you must reach as part of the story, you don't have to go there right away. In fact, we would highly recommend against it - and instead, take the time to understand how things work and power up your character.
